But America will lose the war and Italy shall win it. You see Italy is a very poor weak country and that is what makes us so strong! Strong enough to survive this war, long after your country has been destroyed. How much longer do you think you will last? Forever? Ancient Rome was destroyed. Greece was destroyed. Persia was destroyed. Spain was destroyed. All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours?

Yankee Guilt.
